sempo

Inclusive financial infrastructure for emerging markets.

Sempo enables people to donate directly to individuals affected by disasters. It’s systematic, efficient and transparent. It’s a new way of doing disaster response. We empower individuals and communities to respond together by providing the tools and resources to do so.

The best way to help vulnerable people during disasters, backed by decades of research, is to simply give people money, no strings attached. It’s logistically efficient, transparent for donors and empowers individuals who have just lost everything. The problem is it’s hard to accurately find vulnerable people and when you do find them, even harder to get money to them as many are unbanked.

Sempo is an end-to-end platform for NGOs to rapidly and efficiently get cash-aid to people affected by humanitarian crises. We solve beneficiary identification, cash disbursement and program monitoring in one seamless platform. This means NGOs can spend less resources and time to find vulnerable people and more helping them.
